    The Gauntlet of Siegfried is the 'Specialist Weapon' of Gorod Krovi similar to the sword on Shadows of Evil and the Ragnarok DG-4 on Der Eisendrache.

    To get the Gauntlet of Siegfried you must complete the bottom trial that is shown on your trials board in-game.

    Step 1: Obtain the Dragon Egg
    To obtain the dragon egg you must first ride the dragon over to the Hatchery/Lockdown area. If you do not know how to do this then please see the guide to getting the network circuits and riding the dragon. Once in the lockdown area you do not need to actually commence the lockdown (And I'd personally recommend you don't if you are just going for this achievement as it is very tedious). From the Pack-a-Punch machine, head down the stairs to the hatchery and towards the well that leads out of the hatchery area. Before you leave the hatchery, look right above the well and you should see the egg. Shoot it with anything other than a ray gun and it should roll down. Just pick it up and head out of the hatchery.

    Step 2: Bathe the Dragon Egg in Fire
    To complete this step you must take your newly acquired egg and place it in a nesting area where the dragon breathes fire. There are 4 nesting areas correlating with the areas that the dragon will breathe fire on. The nest are fairly distinguishable that look like generic nests. You should get a prompt to hold X and place your egg in the nest. Once the dragon breathes fire on the egg you must wait around 2 rounds to pick it up while it cools. Just go to your favorite training area and wait until the egg is ready.

    Step 3: Kill Napalm Zombies
    Napalm zombies are zombies that have been exposed to the dragon's fire. To have the napalm zombies "form" just run around one of the areas that the dragon visits and let the dragon breathe fire on them. It should take around 10-15 napalm zombies to progress this step. You can check your progress on the next 3 steps at any time by holding the back button and seeing how far around the egg the yellow line is.

    Step 4: Get Penetration Multi Kills
    These are pretty self-explanatory. Just group up a bunch of zombies and shoot them with a high damage weapon i.e. The Drakon, The Locus, the SVG-100 to kill multiple zombies with one shot. Insta-kill also works for this if you do not want to spin the box to get a sniper rifle.

    Step 5: Melee Kill Zombies
    Also pretty self-explanatory. You will probably be at a decently high round (Around 13-16) when you reach this step so I would recommend buying the Bowie Knife off of the wall in the power room to make your life easier. It takes around 15 melee kills to complete this step.
    *You can also use the shield blast RT move to get this step done much much easier. Credit goes to xCANExINSANEx93 for this tip.*

    Step 6: Incubate the Dragon Egg
    Once you've finished these 3 mini steps head back to the hatchery area to incubate your egg. Place your egg in the large machine as soon as you enter the hatchery to begin your incubation. There will be loads of zombies spawning in a pretty close range area, as you can't leave the bottom floor of the hatchery, so Pack-a-Punching your weapons and having a shield and perks is almost a necessity.

    After around 30 seconds of incubating you will be done and must wait for the egg to cool down again so head back upstairs and survive another 2-3 rounds. Once thats finished grab your egg and head back to the trials board in the spawn. You can now claim your Gauntlet of Siegfried and the achievement will unlock.

    If you would like video of the achievement, PowerPyx has a great video detailing the steps. All credit goes to him.

    xCANExINSANEx93Super useful tip: On the step where you need melee kills, you can use the shields fire blast move (RT) and it counts. Much easier than trying to knife a zombie 15 times or so

    DubstepEdgelordSteps 3-5 are retroactive so once you finish Step 2 you may have progress towards those steps, I was getting penetration multi kills and napalm zombie kills and once the egg cooled down I was already to step 5.
